My wife and I visited 52 churches in a year. Then we attended a bunch more. Here is what we learned.
My final consideration is Greek Orthodox. They appear fourth on my mental list of churches to visit. Like Anglican Catholic, I’ve never talked to anyone who was Greek Orthodox or Eastern Orthodox. Historically, I understand they split from the Roman Catholic Church about a thousand years ago. What little I know—accurate or not—comes from what […]
Another church is Anglican Catholic. They’re also on my mental list of churches to visit. I know nothing about them or their faith practices. I expect their service to be much like Roman Catholic, but I’m not sure. Consider these three discussion questions about Church 74. 1. I’m curious and intrigued. I’m sure I can […]
Another church is Anglican Catholic. They’re also on my mental list of churches to visit. I expect their service to be much like Roman Catholic, but I’m not sure. It’s an intriguing mystery to me. To compare them with Roman Catholicism and other high churches might offer good insight. I’m sure I can learn much […]
Next on my mental list of churches to visit sits a contentious consideration. It’s Mormon, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS for short). I remain undecided if we should visit them or not. Consider these three discussion questions about Church 73. 1. I read that most Mormons consider themselves Christians, whereas most […]
Next on my mental list of churches to visit sits a contentious consideration. I refer to Mormon, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS for short). I read that most Mormons consider themselves Christians, whereas most non-Mormon Christians don’t, viewing them as a sect or even a cult. Vitriol emerges. I suspect this […]
In addition to these three remaining churches on my spreadsheet is my mental list of four more. The first of these churches is the Salvation Army. Most people know the Salvation Army for their red donation kettles at Christmastime. Consider these three discussion questions about Church 72. 1. The Salvation Army addresses the needs of […]
In addition to these three remaining churches on my spreadsheet is my mental list of four more. The first of these churches is the Salvation Army. Most people know the Salvation Army for their red donation kettles at Christmastime. Beyond that, they focus on the needs of the homeless and provide disaster relief and humanitarian […]
Before 52 Churches, we visited a Messianic Jewish congregation: Jews who believe in Jesus as their Jewish savior, mixing Hebrew tradition with Christian faith. Recalling our time with this first Messianic Jewish congregation, I add another one to my list. Consider these three discussion questions about Church 71. 1. Meeting Saturday evenings, the service at […]
Before 52 Churches, we visited a Messianic Jewish church: Jews who believe in Jesus as their Jewish savior, mixing Jewish tradition with Christian faith. They met on Saturday nights. The service involved a time of worship and a time of teaching. They concluded with a shared meal. Most of the service was in English, but […]
I once stumbled upon a group of Young Quakers online. Their faith, passion for community, and desire to make a difference in their world drew me in. I was intrigued and curious, but they had no gathering close by, so I searched for similar meetings in my area. Consider these three discussion questions about Church […]
